TEPCO releases images of interior of Fukushima No. 2 reactor

TOKYO, Japan - Supplied photo shows the inner wall of the primary container of the No. 2 reactor at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant. On Jan. 19, 2012, Tokyo Electric Power Co. inserted an industrial endoscope into the reactor that suffered meltdown following the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, in the first attempt by the plant's operator to directly check the interiors of the crippled reactors at the complex. Due to the effects of radiation, the image is blurry and has many spots. (Photo courtesy of Tokyo Electric Power Co.)(Kyodo)

Lifting Of Cover Panels End At Fukushima Nuke Plant

FUKUSHIMA, JAPAN – OCT. 5: The last of six panels of the cover shrouding the No. 1 reactor building of the disaster-hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant was lifted on October 5.
